General Roleplaying
> The newcomer and vampire stalker in a new world (OOC/Recruitment)
No God Modding.
No playing other people.
Cursing, and swearing is alright unless overly used.
Please write at least five paragraphs, but that isn't required.
Have fun, there is a lot to work with and the plot is open to everyone to create, you can focus on the plague even the battles, or whatever you'd like. I'm mostly going to be focusing on zip's personal problems and if I bring in the vampire, their relationship.
There is a map here(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/zipcat/Map.jpg) for a visual.
1. Freasequ (The plague starting to spread here, killing many, population 2,000)
2. Orchez (Main trade is farming, but keeps getting attacked by Vauljer, population 4,000)
3. Vauljer (A rebel town, population 5,000)
4. Guarde (Capital, full of rich people, the royal family is here, population 10,000
5. Drazil (A town supported by mining, population 1,500)
6. Pravize (A town that lives on fishing, population 4,600)
7. Kreque (Population 1,500)
8. Zesflu (Population 1,000)
9. Port Taj (Relies on great fishing and trade, population 2,000)
Mostly, you may be creative with this, but the time is set back in the eight hundreds to fifteen hundreds or so. Most every town has an inn, tavern, church, and many other common things you'd find in a town. You can make up any other place off of the map and claim to come from there, just make sure if you state that you're neutral, for, or against the leaders of Guarde. This is just to get the idea of things, so it's not strict.
Just a bit about the history:
zip has come to this new land through a portal, set to explore, look for a new trainer, or just discover. Her "acquaintance" is a vampire that has been stalking her like pray and hopes to feed on her. zip is unaware of the plague and laws in this land, as any newcomer is.
The rest about zip can be found here (http://www.geocities.com/ziptitanmember/index.html), on her character sheet, information about her unique race can be found in her basic info.
Please post your character's appearance, a bit of history of how you came to the land and about yourself (unless you plan to work it into your posts, as I am mostly), weapons and armor, skills, a bit about your personality, and any extras or essentials you may think of.
((Edits: Darn those --s and " looking like s, and ...s looking like &'s. They should all be fixed now.)

Name: Blythe
Basic information and Appearance: Before you stands a young male, who appears to be around twelve but in truth is four hundred and thirty. He's dressed in a black kjortel with golden and green embroidery on the trimming. Under that his black and rather baggy pants end at his boots which are kept well. Out of sight, there is a dagger in his left boot. He holds grace from the learned self control over his long years of life. His paled skin is made to look even lighter by his dark hair and eyes, in which the pupils are lost in the dark of his iris. He can pass for a rich kid that tries to keep to himself and his calm expressions warns others not to come close, even his smiles may be for show for he is very devious.
Background: His old master locked him in a cave after going mad. Recently the death of his master had freed him, and he woke to find a girl living in a cavern nearby. Her blood being like no others, he has been stalking her and becoming her friend while he follows her journeys in search of her home land. For now, he starts at a tavern in Pravize. With the plot, he will do mostly anything he finds rational if it gets him the blood of zip.
(I will be creating a site for Blythe some time soon for ease.)
Yay, I had time to post. I'm sorry it took so long, and if anyone does join; I'll still have trouble posting for a couple more weeks.
I see, however, that there are still a lot of box error thingies... those things are so jejune. I'll fix them when I can.
I figure this looks like a fun rp to join in, ok, so Zipcat sent me :P Titan has some good rp'ers and I do my best to not pass up a good rp :D
A. Common Name
Feng (said as "Fang"), But responds equally well to "Shumpy" when it is from a familiar voice.
B. Full Title and Rank
No title or rank given or earned.
C. Race
D. Magical Alignment
E. Military Division/Rank
F. Character Overview
Feng appears slightly dense, but generally happy. He has about average intelligence, but you would be hard pressed to determine that from looking at him. He doesn't always understand things instantly, but when given a moment he can think most anything through. This plays out in his actions when he stops suddenly in the middle of a street to take the time to comprehend something before him he has never seen before, or a change in posture when he is so focused on something that he doesn't have the ability to consider the orientation of his body.
G. Ability
Feng has been a fighter on sailing vessels his entire life. He is literally completely dedicated to his great swords and is all but helpless in weapons combat without them. With his great sword (using only one at a time, though he always carries two) he is an extremely adept fighter. Feng does love a good bar brawl among friends however, and can hold his own against larger fighters with his fists alone. Due to extreme dedication to his great sword techniques, he is capable of unheard of feats of strength or agility with his sword when it is needed.
Having been a sailor for most of his life, he does know of some unusual technology from other lands, but has no clue how to use any of it. He has yet to find a proper use for most of his skills that he honed on the ocean, but can repair his own weapons and armor out of necessity. He was also the ships carpenter and has been able to make a decent living out of that skill on land.
H. Physiology
Feng is slightly above an average height, about 6 foot 6 inches tall, and approximately 325 pounds, to all accounts not an inch of fat, but nothing noteworthy for definition either. His skin is slightly brown in pigment as a well kept tan darkens his complexion further. Not much of his skin shows however as he always wears his full plate mail, shined to a mirror finish and wrapped in the highest quality leather he can obtain. His lack of a helmet shows a slightly neanderthal appearance with a sloped brow and jutting chin, with large brown eyes being the main source of expression. To remove his armor would show dozens of battle scars across his arms, chest, legs, and a few scars on his neck and back.
I. History
Feng grew up as a sailor, his whole life he has been at sea, and working with as many crews as he could until he found one he couldn't bear to leave. The crew felt an instant kinship with him, and spent all of their free time training with him and teaching him the skills he still hones to this day.
After many years and hundreds of battles, the crew decided as a whole to retire and live a peaceful life on land when a scare involving a lich plague taught them all what they really meant to each other. The crew still keeps in touch, but found their own ideas of happiness away from the sea. Feng still hungers for adventure and travels to chase his dreams. He has come to Titan lands after hearing the stories of great adventure from people all across the lands.
J. Mannerisms
The wheel that grinds the slowest also grinds exceedingly fine. Though he may take his time working on difficult problems and seems to get lost in thought quite easily, Feng does have an average intelligence. You wouldn't know it to watch him think about something though.
Feng generally acts according to his mood, and his mood is mostly happy, he has a spring in his step and is happy to meet anyone. Beware however, when he sees a full blood Orc he goes into a furious charge, as he has a deep seeded hatred for the creatures based on past encounters he refuses to talk about.
K. Properties of Choice
Feng's most prize possessions are his full plate mail and two great swords made by his own hands, polished to a complete mirror finish with every detail painstakingly cared for. The number of repairs to his weapons and armor over the years have actually served to temper the steel into a far stronger alloy of various metals used in repairs when steel is not available and the only way to acquire material is to barter in the various lands of Feng's travels.
Though he never uses it, he also carries a shield on his back, over the great swords, as an odd sort of comfort known only to him, it's assumed he uses it when sleeping to keep his armor from getting dented on rocky ground.
Feng is also known to carry a vial of 'Wah wah' sauce, a food additive made by a combination of the most powerful fire clerics and mages, it is so hot that even a god would only be able to carry on a hoarse voice the sound "WAH! WAH!" in an urgent attempt to ask for water or any substance to lessen the intense heat, but strangely enough, never leaves a chemical burn or any permanent damage thanks to careful spell choices and enchantments to protect the user. Feng's personal favorite food is anything with 'wah wah' sauce on it, and oddly, he never seems to run out of the stuff...
L. Sociology
First encounters always lead to snap decisions to determine friend or foe, but unless any hostility is detected most people are considered friends.
The only people that Feng absolutely hates and seemingly drips with palpable malice at under any circumstance are pure blood Orcs. He will drop whatever he is doing and go completely berserk should he see a pure blood Orc and do everything in his ability to kill them and desecrate the corpse if enough of it is left to do so. Being the only sore point of his past, he refuses to disclose the reason why to anyone and becomes quite angry at the subject being brought up.
[Edited by Feng on Saturday, July 29, 2006 12:19 PM]
Looks well Feng, I look forward to playing with you.
Edits; those darn boxes...
I like what Feng did with his character, so im gonna introduce my character like that too.
A. Common Name
Achilles Avorilius. (Av-or-real-e-us)
B. Full Title and Rank
C. Race
D. Magical Alignment
E. Military Division/Rank
F. Character Overview
Achilles is 23 in elvish years, but 87 in human. He has long retired from the Elvish army of Elsinvally, ( A country mostly inhabited by Elves and Humans.) He once was a strong willed, and loyal archer the "kings Second Archery Defence". His natural Ability to sneak around unnoticed led him to a career as a Scout for his King. Now, he lives a life as a Thief, Fighting for only himself, or anyone who pays him. His life is general exciting, and fastpaced, and his mood is mildly happy. His life style demands intellagence and wits, which he has worked on for most of his life after the army. He can spot a scam, theft, or drug deal a mile away, since he is mostly around them all the time. He has lost the lust for killing, and sticks to stealth and defence while hes on a job, and rarely kills anything.
G. Ability
With his bloodline filled purly of elves, his true nature is to be silent, agile, and sneaky. Even when he downt intend to, he finds hiself walking lightly on hard floors. Years of training and experiance has led him to be an outstanding archer, which he uses now only as a way of distracting his enemys. He carries only essentials with im, a small, studed club(which he uses to knockout his enemys.) a small recurve bow, (with both non lethal and lethal arrows in his quiver), a smoke stained dagger, and a few flash bombs which he custom makes, and a set of lock picks.
With his job, Achilles needs to be quick, witty, intellagent, and have a great personality. His intellagence helps him understand, map, and pick most locks he comes across, making any job easy once he gets into his mark. His personality makes getting out of a situatiuon with guards, civilians, traders, and general people easy to talk to.
H. Physiology
Achilles is tall, about 6'4". His hair is long and blond, almost white. Being a thief means stealing at night, and sleeping during the day,. so his skin has become pale. His body, is slender and athletic, he excersises everyday, but makes sure not to become too muscular, as muscels impare his limberness. He usualy wears clothing that is dark. He wears soft sole shoes, which are quieter and easier to move in. but he wears a metallic, and tarneshed green locket on his neck, which he rarely opens. His face hosts a wide jaw, small mouth, squinting eyes, and a perfect profile. His looks seem to help him in situatiuons with women, though he rarly uses it to his advantage.
I. History
Achilles grew up his whole life believeing he had to join the army and fight for his country. People urged him to become better in school and fitness, which later helped him in life as a thief. He joined the army in his 65th elvish year( 17th in human), and became an expert marksmen and hunter. The king later became "friends" with him, and gave him a job as a scout One day he was on a scouting mission searching for invading armies seen in the area. He was caught and torcherd for many months. He thought his king and friend was going to help him, but he never did. He finally broke free, and returned to his home, when he confronted the king about him not searching for him, the king acted as he didnt know who Achilles was, and banished him for his country.
J. Mannerisms
"What do you want to be, the person who walks at night and is frightend of the prediters? Or the person whom becomes the night, and frightens the prediters?"
Achilles father once told him this after he came running home from his water duties late at night. He had seen a beast staring at him from the shadows of a bush and became frightend. This one question created a code for Achilles, "To be the Hunter, or the Hunted", which he chants all the time. He always seems to be thinking, either of his job, or something else no one can figure out, for Achilles does nothing but steal.
L. Sociology
Achilles dosent socilize unless he nothing to do, in his spare time, he walks around the city he has taken as home for the year, or untill hes wanted. He dosent take aliegence to anyone but himself. And is always looking for a job, but he dosent do it for the money, the only thing he lives for is the rush of stealing and sneaking, nothing beats it in his eyes, and nothing will.
K. Properties of Choice
Achilles dosent thrive on material possessions, but rather on wht he already has. His locket, is the only thing he will never take off, and even if it was taken away from him, no one will stand in his way. Achillies mainly uses whats best for the job.
Wow Achilles, that is an awesome sheet. That reminds me to work on mine too... so I'll post here after I update it incase anyone wants the fresh news.
If you're waiting for acceptance -- which is something I'm not used to, people just join where I'm from -- then you got it, doubled even, play with us! :P
Thanks alot, ill start my charcter slowly. He'll come in with a story of him first laying eyes on Guarde and its majesty. But just to let you know, i do have a problem with spelling, so try to read around the slightly mis-spelled words.
[Edited by Achilles on Wednesday, July 26, 2006 8:52 PM]
The charecter sheet is used by titan for our roleplay charecters to have a quick refrence guide, it's always nice to see that people like the idea :)
I look foreward to roleplaying with you. As Zip said: "Play with us" *Feng's trademark goofy grin and head tilt go here*
Lol, no worries about spelling, no matter how good I get at reading and writing, my skills there are still way behind.
I have to admit that I may not always reply quickly, I tend to be busy with so much stuff here in life. Soon, well before the RP is done though, I should have my own computer back and things out of the way so I can write more.
Feng, do you think that's the newest addition to the sheet? Could you email me the blank one's link if it is?
No problem, I have the new sheet direct from the leaderman himself, it won't come blank though, the fields are all filled with brief descriptions of what to make sure to include in each section. In shumpy's case it was a great help :P
Almost forgot, are we keeping turn order on this or is it post as post can? I'm up for either but figured it would be best to ask.
[Edited by Feng on Thursday, July 27, 2006 9:07 PM]
Yep, that's what I ment by a blank, I'll save it somewhere somehow. I know my sheet is like super old.
I'm not sure if it should be turns or what... but it would be best. Seeing as they're extra big rather than the short ones most post-when-you-want things have, I'm guessing it's turns.
Oh, I'd just like to say that people can join any time. I know that all of that writing can be pretty intimidating... but chances are that this RP will be open for quite some time. So, even if there is a hundred pages, if you can read it all, can make a character, and have fun, then you're welcome to.
[Edited by zipcat on Sunday, July 30, 2006 6:25 PM]
You guys go along with out me, im so sorry for keeping you waiting. If you can let me, ill be back in a couple of weeks, im just incredibly busy at the moment.
Thanks for letting me on.
Blissful_Abyss15, it is really nice to have you to play with and all, but from the IM you sent me asking to join as a vampire I'm assuming that you're playing as one. Please, post your BIO here. I'm not trying to discourage you from playing... but there were a few things wrong with your post.
The time was just after sun set when this RP started, and since then only a few hours have passed. In your post, it started just before sun set and then three hours passed, still being dark. I'm trying to keep the control of time with the main character, which is zip, so please don't mention time changes. You could do all you have done, and assume that the time has passed, and skip your next turn so that those three hours will pass, or you could just do all you have. It doesn't have to take that long.
A fan of mine has been reading this RP as well, and he is a specialist in Vampyrism and Demonology. He had the following to say:
Excuse me in advance for the rather blunt attitude about the Vampyric (I spell it with a "y" because it is the proper, Old English way of doing so) race, but as a specialist in Demonology and Vampyrism, I feel as if it is my duty to point out a few things. First off...Vampyres cannot walk in daylight, with the exception of daywalkers who in turn cannot walk at night (because they're resting in their coffin).
Second, Vampyres are not "born" into a family like other races. Vampyres are undead, and therefore infertile. In order to become a Vampyre, one would have to be bitten, not treat the disease in 3 day's time, and then be converted. Even then, they do not get access to the Vampyric powers until they fully embrace the curse.
Third, there are Vampyric clans that one can belong to (they can only belong to one, and the others are semi-hostile to all members of the other clans). I won't bother mentioning them all, but the one I feel as if I should mention are the Nosferatu. The Nosferatu are the only Vampyre's that can tread upon hollowed grounds and live. In fact, the Nosferatu clan makes their bases in abandoned chapels, churches, and temples. Any other Vampyre would immediately burst into flames from the holy presence of whatever deity that church is dedicated to.
Fourth, Vampyres do not refer to themselves as "Vampyres" or "Vampires", but they call themselves the Kindred.
Finally, if you ever need any advice about Vampyres, demons, or whatnot, feel free to contact me @ email@example.com
Many apologies about the bluntness.
Also... there are no trucks in this time, and no technology.
[Edited by zipcat on Sunday, August 20, 2006 7:46 PM]
That's better, and very cute too. Even though IC people won't know, I'll assume that Crow and her are freshly turned vampires, yes?
[Edited by zipcat on Tuesday, August 22, 2006 3:38 PM]
Hey - I'm really interested in this RP, but I'm not sure how to create my character... there's not much info about what the RP is about, the time period, the setting... are we just existing in this place, or what? Please let me know and I may jump in as well!
A direct quote from Zip's first post:
No God Modding.
No playing other people.
Cursing, and swearing is alright unless overly used.
Please write at least five paragraphs, but that isn't required.
Have fun, there is a lot to work with and the plot is open to everyone to create, you can focus on the plague even the battles, or whatever you'd like. I'm mostly going to be focusing on zip's personal problems and if I bring in the vampire, their relationship.

Please note the link to the map along with the era in the paragraph below the town listing. As stated, you can choose to make a town for the map and claim it as a place of origin, or travel here by some other means. Magic exists here and technology is pretty far behind.
The focus of this rp is charecter development, for Zip that means problems her charecter is having, along with her relationship with Blythe. Feng is pretty much here for the duration, as my lummox has no clue whats going on in the area and had no plans for when he showed up.
If you would like to join, please post a short description or biography of your charecter so that the other writers will have an idea of who their charecter is interacting with.

text: USS Decatur, DDG-73, an Arleigh-Burke class guided missile destroyer, arrives in Homer today for a four-day visit. Based in San Diego, Calif., Decatur recently returned from a seven-month deployment in the western Pacific Ocean. Because of heightened security conditions, no open house or public tours of Decatur will be held during her visit. Harbormaster Bryan Hawkins said armed guards will be enforcing security at the Deep Water Dock, with access to the dock prohibited. Oil containment booms also will be placed around Decatur. Mariners are asked to stay 500 yards away from Decatur. American Legion Post 16 holds a halibut and burger cookout tonight for sailors from Decatur. The Homer trolley picks up crew members about 5 p.m. today. People interested in volunteering for the cookout should show up about 3 p.m., said legion historian Bill Sheldon, or call the post at 235-8864. The Homer Chamber of Commerce has provided Decatur staff with a list of activities to do in the Homer area, said Monte Davis, executive director. Built by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, Decatur was launched in November 1996 and commissioned in August 1998. Named after naval hero Stephen Decatur, she is the fifth naval vessel to bear his name. Decatur has had five deployments to the Persian Gulf since being commissioned and served in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Cmdr. Shanti Sethi assumed command of Decatur in 2010. An Indian-American born and raised in the U.S., her father is from New Delhi and married an American woman. Decatur visited Chennai, India, last March, where Sethi and other women sailors spoke to Indian college and high school students for Women's History Month.

Are Nonprofit Leaders More Effective Than Corporate Execs?
(Feb. 4, 2008) Nonprofit leaders scored significantly higher than their for-profit counterparts in a recent study about leadership practices conducted by The Nonprofit Quarterly.
More than 2,500 management leaders in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors were studied through feedback surveys submitted by peers, direct reports and managers for a total of 22,859 respondents. Nonprofit leaders outscored corporate executives in 14 out of the 17 aspects of leadership examined in the study, including persuasiveness, risk-tasking, demonstration of effectiveness and vision.
Nonprofit executives scored significantly higher in categories related to sensitivity to people and situations and the use of personal vs. hierarchical power. These categories include encouraging participation, persuasiveness, and openness to feedback, sharing credit, demonstration of effectiveness (achieving the desired outcomes) and use of lasting power.
For-profit executives scored higher in the categories of push/pressure, energy and coping with stress.
Other key findings from the study include:
- Nonprofit leaders tend to rate themselves lower than survey respondents did, while for-profit leaders rate themselves higher than did those who evaluated them.
- Peer ratings of nonprofit leaders were higher than peer ratings of for-profit leaders in all 17 dimensions.
- Differences in responses on leadership effectiveness were often affected by respondents' relationship to leaders.
"We should not be surprised by the findings of this nonprofit leadership study," said Jim Collins, author of the best-selling business studies Good to Great and Built to Last, in a press release. "In executive leadership, the individual leader has enough concentrated power to simply make the right decisions. Legislative leadership, on the other hand, relies more on persuasion, political currency and shared interests to create the conditions for the right decisions to happen. For this reason, we should expect to see very high leadership ratings in the social sectors, as true leadership only exists if people follow when they have the freedom to not follow."
Respondents assessed leaders through the Clark-Wilson Survey of Leadership Practices (SLP), a feedback tool used to rate leaders within the corporate sector. SLP is a 360-degree, or multirater, feedback survey that provides insight on 17 leadership categories or dimensions, each representing leadership skills or practices.
A complete story about the report can be found on The Nonprofit Quarterly website.
The Nonprofit Quarterly is printed four times a year, with each issue focusing on a theme of importance to the nonprofit sector.

Adding a few more frames to share from my "Patrol" Project. These are probably the last batch I suspect as I'm feeling that it's more or less complete aside from organizing it and putting it into an exhibitable order.Archives

TONY JEFFRIES will face the toughest test of his short professional career when he boxes Belarusian light-heavyweight champion Artem Solomko on Friday (16/10) 'Jaffa', 24, has romped to three quick-fire wins since switiching codes following his glorious bronze medal at last year's Olympics. And he hopes to delight his hometown fans and Sky TV viewers when he tackles Solomko at Sunderland's Seaburn Centre. Solomko (10-17) won his national crown in May, easily outpointing Dmitry Adamovich over ten rounds. The Minsk man is durable and hasn't been stopped since a four round cuts defeat to former European cruiserweight champion and two time world title challenger Pietro Aurino in June 2005.. Promoter Frank Maloney: "British fighters are molly coddled because they learn nothing blowing people away and this a decent test. "Jeffries has already spread fear through Europe and this is a gamble but will pay off. It is the right fight at the right time." Heading the talent bursting Sunderland bill is a British super-bantamweight title defence by Jason Booth (33-5) who faces Hartlepool's former European champion Michael Hunter. Booth, 31, will be having his 17th major title contest and making the second defence of the championship he won against Mark Moran in April. Also featured is Jeffries fellow Beijing bronze medallist David Price (1-0), and super-middlerweight sensation George Groves (5-0) The last few remaining tickets priced £35 and £90 are available from 0871 226 1508, Phil Jeffries 0191 564 0202 and www.frankmaloney.com. MALONEY WANTS MOORE vs CHAVEZ JNR PROMOTER Frank Maloney is preparing to travel east and west early next month to get Jamie Moore a shot at the WBC light-middleweight title. The Salford star (32-3) first has to come through a European light-middleweight title defence against fellow southpaw Ryan Rhodes (42-4), which doubles up as a WBC title eliminator. Their clash at Bolton Arena on October 23 is the most eagerly awaited domestic clash of 2009. Moore, 30, is third in the WBC rankings behind Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr and Kermit Cintron for their 154lb title held by Sergio Martinez. Maloney will fly east to Jeju, Korea with Moore and the boxer's manager and co-promoter Steve Wood in the first week of November to press their claims at the WBC convention. Maloney then hopes to meet Chavez Jnr's promoters Top Rank, when he is in Las Vegas for the November 14 showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. He explained: "I was very close to getting Martinez over here. "A couple of months ago talks were held with his promoter Lou DiBella, but after good signs early on during negotiations, they didn't want to come to England and face Jamie. "The offer was fantastic and Jamie was willing to take the fight for chump change. I can't see how Martinez had ever earned the money that was on the table. "The WBC belt is the most prestigious in boxing and the one Jamie wants to get his hands on more than anything. "When Jamie attends WBC convention he will put his case to them and that can only help his cause. "I'm then going west to Las Vegas where I am going to suggest to Bob Arum that Jamie fights Chavez Jnr in a final eliminator, or even a interim title. "It will be hard to bring Chavez Jnr to England because of the TV business he does in the United States and Mexico, but I am so confident that Mooresy has his measure we would travel. "If he doesn't beat Rhodes though that will all become no more than a dream that is unlikely to ever happen and Jamie isn't looking beyond Ryan even if there looks like being a pot of gold at the end of the tunnel." There are two British title fights on the bumper Bolton bill St Helens Gary Davies (9-2-1) risks his bantamweight title against Ian Napa (18-7). The pair were due to clash this week, but Davies who won the crown against Matthew Edmonds in April sustained a calf injury. Stoke warrior Chris Edwards (13-13-3) defends his British flyweight title against Oldham based Mongolian Shinny Bayaar who recently gained British citizenship A fourth title sees Burnley star Stuart McFadyen (12-1-1) challenge Doncaster's Jamie McDonnell (11-2-1) for the vacant English super-flyweight title. Tickets are now on sale prices £40, £60, £80 and £125 from www.frankmaloney.com and 0871 226 1508

This study draws on gender issues relating to the employment and family responsibilities of
Thai working women in order to better understand their management of these. The study thus
attempts to address key gaps in the literature through a consideration of women's careers, the
social structure in Thailand, Thai women in the labour market, equal treatment according to
merit and respondents' experiences of being working mothers. This research thereby
contributes to the research on employment and the family responsibilities of Thai working
women. Thus, the study is not only an examination of gender issues in relation to
employment and family responsibilities, but the data collected also enables the generation of
interesting new hypotheses derived from the narratives provided by women concerning the
impact of these dual spheres. Moreover, this study contributes to the wider literature on
gender by seeking to explore the role of working mothers as a complex aspect of women's

Nice place to stay while en route. Small, nice people and easy on off of I40. Not many amenities, but quick and quiet. - konehd
First off, this is a little 'mom & pop' motel that has a few adjacent RV hookups; just your basic place to stop, rest and get out of the weather. Not fancy and nothing other than water, sewer and 50 amp electric, but quiet. It is operated in conjunction with the cutest little country store and gas station where the folks are friendly. If you're looking for "all that and a bag of chips"...keep moving. But if you just need a place to relax, get out of the weather (in your rig), hook up to water, electric (50 amp) and sewer for the night on the cheap, it may work for you. We'd stay for a night again if in the neighborhood. - User1505

About the only thing missing from this Lake McClellan recreation area.....was the lake. It looks like it's been dried up for many years and filled with grass and plants. Convenient to I-40 with a two lane road about 5 miles from the freeway. We had read that the signage is non existent, and that's true. As you come down the hill, you'll go across a small bridge in front of the dam. Do not take the first entrance you see on the left, but take the second entrance. Neither had a sign. Gravel and sandy. It's paved all the way to the campground. Campground is As you pull in, you will see the campground host's area on the left, an information board on the right. And the main campground is back behind you on the left. There was a nice collection of level sites in the trees with water and power. One site we saw leaked quite a bit of water on the ground out of the faucet. Minimal cellphone service is down in the vally here so you won't be going online very much. Very quiet and peaceful at night, despite several rigs that pulled in the camp next to us around 10:30 pm, but they tried to be quiet. Not a particular stunning beautiful place but ok, and convenient. Camp host was nowhere to be found when we pulled in, but later comes over to answer any questions, and I'm sure, make sure you paid. Half-price to Golden Age and other Federal passes. - elduque
This is one of hidden campgrounds everyone would like to find. This park is part of the McClellan Creek National Grassland east of Amarillo, Texas. From Alanreed, TX go west on I-40 to Exit 128 and go north on Rd 2477 for about 3 miles and turn left at sigh and go 0.1 mile to the "Y" and then go right to the campground. The upper section is an open area and the lower section has some shade. We were told the campground will get crowded on the weekends with 4-wheelers. - glbaker44

late 14c., from Old French cocombre (13c., Modern French concombre), from Latin cucumerem (nominative cucumis), perhaps from a pre-Italic Mediterranean language. The Latin word also is the source of Italian cocomero, Spanish cohombro, Portuguese cogombro. Replaced Old English eorþæppla (plural), literally "earth-apples." Cowcumber was common form 17c.-18c., and that pronunciation lingered into 19c. Planted as a garden vegetable by 1609 by Jamestown colonists. Phrase cool as a cucumber (c.1732) embodies ancient folk knowledge confirmed by science in 1970: inside of a field cucumber on a warm day is 20 degrees cooler than the air temperature.

Opportunities For Giving
Planned Giving
Through the Foundation's Planned Giving Program, options exist for current or deferred gifts which may include gifts of insurance polices, provisions of a will, the establishment of trusts, real or personal property, or gifts of cash or securities. Planned giving is a major component in the Foundation's efforts to provide educational opportunities for tomorrow's students.
Establishing an Endowment
An endowment can be created with a minimum gift of $15,000. The principal amount donated to establish an endowment is never reduced and only the interest income is used to fund the scholarship. The Executive Director will meet with you to discuss giving options and the criteria of the scholarship.
Named Scholarship
A minimum gift, equal to the cost of tuition, is required to name a scholarship.
Examples of the variety of scholarships given by the community can be found by clicking below. Click here to view the WCC Scholarships.
Gifts to the Foundation Provide
Foundation Scholarships
The Foundation awarded 368 scholarships this year. That was more than $224,000.00 dollars invested in education by caring donors. In February of each year, a reception is held to honor the scholarship recipients and to thank the donors of the scholarships.
Excellence In Teaching Awards
An endowment established by an anonymous donor funds the George E. Wilson Excellence in Teaching Awards. The Excellence in Teaching Award is presented annually at the WCC graduation commencement to an outstanding faculty member. The recipient of the award receives a check for $4,000 and the opportunity to attend NISOD, an international conference on Teaching Excellence. (The recipient for the 2013-2014 year was Sue McClenny.)
Staff Recognition
The Foundation annually recognizes and awards Employee of the Year Awards to the staff of Wayne Community College. Four awards of $875 each are awarded to a deserving individual from Operational and Maintenance Staff, Professional Staff, Professional Support Staff and Adjunct Faculty. Greg Pittman (Operational & Maintenance), Betty McClellan (Professional Support), Mark Johnson (Professional) and Tom Casey (Adjunct Faculty) are this years recipients.
Faculty Distinguished Chairs
A special gift has been given by an anonymous donor to the Foundation in recognition of WCC Faculty members who have distinguished themsleves at WCC and in the community at large. The annual gift of $11,000 allows us to award two distinguished chairs for the use of travel abroad or professional development. Faculty recipients who travel must give a presentation of their experience to students, faculty and staff and the community.
The following faculty have received the Distinguish Chair Award: 2004 – Peggy Womble and Beth Hooks; 2005 – Cindy Archie and Gene Smith; 2006 – Faye Best and Rosalyn Lomax; 2007- Kathryn Spicer and Rachel Hall; 2008 – Margaret Baddour and Charlotte Brow; 2009 – Craig Foucht and Phyllis Patterson; 2010 – Todd King and Anna Anaya-Vega; 2011 – Joanne McClave and Angela Wall; 2012- Tammy Bishop and Fe Finch; 2013-David Byrd and Janeil Marak; 2014- Maureen Loomer and Chad Pate.
Karl M. Best Agricultural Leadership Program
A gift from the estate of Karl M. Best to the Foundation led to the development of the Karl M. Best Leadership Program. Sponsored annually by the Foundation and the Wayne County Cooperative Extension, the program is designed to help develop leadership skills among farmers in our farming community as well as among agribusinesses. With the demise of local farms, there is a greater need to establish leadership within the farming community to have a voice in local, state and national policies.
The gift also provides scholarships to students enrolled in WCC agricultural programs. The Best Family, Lillie, Myra and Johnny, continue to stay involved in the Leadership Program.
For The Love Of Tennis
Health restrictions prevented an avid tennis player and coach from enjoying the game. Out of his desire for others to enjoy tennis, a special gift of $46,000 was given to the Foundation by the former coach. The gift was designated for the construction of tennis courts.
This wonderful gift helped fund the construction of six Elmer Crumpler tennis courts for Wayne Community College students, faculty, and staff.
WCC Ambassadors
The Ambassadors are WCC students that are chosen to represent the college on campus and at community events. Each student maintains a grade point average of 3.0 and receives a tuition scholarship from the Foundation. The Foundation provides the official college attire for each Ambassador. The Ambassadors are representatives of WCC's best.

Running Time: 80
Director: Miles Zakheim

Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Alternative
Shanna McCullough as Allison has apparently scored a good buy on a camcorder at her local video discounter's. So much so that she can't wait to try it at a party that she's hostessing for a group of generic sex maniacs. Object of the fun: every time Allison/McCullough flashes the camera in your face, your supposed to jump the bones of the partner next to you.
"Duh, dats like playin' spin da bottle...only with a camera," says one of the sharper of the male contingent. From here, it's anyone's guess who'll be zooming whom.
Essentially, what you have is a video update of those low-budget early-70s orgy films. Thankfully, the people here are better looking, and we're not subjected to hide welts and pimples in the proximity of body cavities. Best performance goes to Alexis Greco who these days seems to prefer the name Alexandria. On the other end of the scale lies one punkish Rita Erotica who pleasures herself with a telephone cord and makes maw-of-hell sounds straight out of a Clive Barker film. I have seen the future of horror. Her name is ... Rita Erotica.
Allison strips nude and says to one guy, "gee, we have the same color pubic hair. That means we belong together." I that about sums it up.

Casino's Qatar Geant Partner mulls finance options
Al Meera Consumer Goods Co , which recently struck a deal to franchise French retailer Casino's Geant hypermarkets in the parts of the Gulf, will explore financing options to fund its expansion plans.
February 21, 2012 4:49 by Reuters
Al Meera said on Tuesday its board had directed management to look at financing options, including borrowing and restructuring capital, and also hiring a financial consultant for the process.
The Qatari firm's shares closed up 1.16 percent on the Doha bourse after the announcement, at a three-week closing high.
In December, Al Meera signed a deal to develop Geant hypermarkets in Qatar and Oman as part of Casino's bid to boost its presence in fast-growing regions. [ID: nL6E7NF25B]
"They're doing a lot of expansion and are growing. They could look at a bond or additional equity to fund that," said Robert Pramberger, acting head of asset management at The First Investor.
"The JV with Geant will give them access to the private-label products."
The December deal, whose financial terms were not disclosed, reinforces Casino's presence in the Middle East, where it already has a franchise deal with Retail Arabia to operate 10 Geant hypermarkets and Geant Easy supermarkets in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain.
Al Meera operates more than 20 supermarkets under its own banner in Qatar. (Reporting By Regan Doherty; Editing by Dinesh Nair)

Tim Tebow is the worst NFL QB to play the game. Stats don't lie.
Great game that finished on the first play in overtime.
Tim Tebow is the worst NFL QB to play the game. Stats don't lie.
You are right, stats don't lie. Tebow was 8 and 4 as a starter and made the playoffs while the Colts could only muster up two wins between three quarterbacks but did manage to earn the number one pick in the upcoming draft. Tebow is the first player to have four completions of 30 yards or more in one quarter of a playoff game in the modern era (since 1960) and the first in any game since Warren Moon in 1990. Further, in the playoffs, no other QB since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 had ever completed three 50+ yard passes in a game. Tebow gains an average of 2.61 yards every time he touches the ball. Maybe that doesnt sound like much, but only four quarterbacks have done better this season. In order, they are Rodgers, Drew Brees, Brady and injured Matt Schaub. Tebow is No. 5.
Is he the best quarterback, far from it, but I wouldn't call him the worst either at least according to the stats.
He's the worst.
They run the option. Got that? They run a college offense because he can't handle big boy football.
Tebow is terrible.
As for statistics that actually matter...
QB rating: Tebow is 28th
Completion percentage: Tebow is 34th
Passing Yards: Tebow is 32nd
Touchdowns: Tebow is 27th

Absolutely. That's why its so irksome that people anoint Tebow as something he is not. The denver broncos won because they had a strong defense and a strong running game, not because Tim Tebow was a good quarterback.
Look at the San Francisco 49ers, they have the same recipe. Its a common one. But for some reason, people were obsessed with Tim Tebow and they ignored what Alex Smith was doing in San Fran. Alex won more games this year, so why not talk about him?
Pat Robertson says that Tebow got a "raw deal" and it would serve Denver right if Manning got hurt.
Did Jesus tell him that? Or is it his senility talking?

It broke my heart when we lost Peyton. I also am adult enough to understand the economics behind these decisions. Whenever/wherever Peyton plays in the future, my heart will be with him (unless he is playing against our Colts). How a Christian could wish for physical harm to occur to any of our football players escapes my moral understandings (and I am an agnostic)? Pat Robertson, I have never believed in your propaganda....I believe in it far less when you make such a statement as you made today regarding Tebow and Peyton. Perhaps you need to spend a bit more time on your prayer bench....(or at least in your mirror)?

"As a member of the William and Mary community, I pledge on my honor not to lie, cheat, or steal, either in my academic or personal life. I understand that such acts violate the Honor Code and undermine the community of trust, of which we are all stewards."
Those few words constitute the world's first honor code, established at The College of William and Mary in 1736. Thomas Jefferson regarded it so highly when he attended W&M that he instituted it at the University of Virginia when he founded that school. It has since been adopted by numerous institutions, including (in various forms) at America's military universities and at the Wooster School, which I was lucky enough to attend for two years.
If you're a regular reader of Switch and Shift, you already ascribe to an internal honor code anyway, because your parents raised you right
The short version, the one that I've carried with me ever since graduating from W&M over 20 years ago, goes more like this:
Do not lie, cheat, or steal.
And let me tell you, those six words left an impression. While I may not share every detail of my biography (something that in itself can makes me squirm at times), I'm a really bad liar; so bad, in fact, that I don't even try. Same with cheating – and we can forget the whole topic of stealing!
Now, you may be saying, "So you're a boy scout: congratulations. What's this got to do with my career, or with the way I run my company?" I hear you. But I wonder…
- I wonder what would happen on Wall Street and in The City if every trader, broker, and investment banker had to take this oath. If they were suspended from work at the first suspicion of impropriety. And if they knew they'd lose their entire careers if found guilty of lying or cheating, even a tiny bit.
- I wonder what effect this would have on the legal profession if lawyers were put under this same code.
- Or elected officials. Could you imagine? Do not lie or cheat, or you're out. What a breath of fresh air that would bring wafting through the halls of Congress, or your state legislature! (I live in Florida. Enough said?)
- Or Fox News and MSNBC. My guess is, the rhetoric in their coverage might tone down a bit.
- How about at your company? What if your board of directors adopted this simple, six-word honor code for every employee of the company, including the CEO. "Do not lie, cheat, or steal. Suspicion gets you suspended. Conviction gets you fired." My guess is, we'd have some openings at the top of the pyramid.
Now, perhaps you agree with me that stealing is a legal issue, and so isn't necessarily that important to put in your company's, or your personal, honor code. I'll leave that up to you. Perhaps you'd add a positive proscription instead, like "Be Fair," which I'll post on soon.
What I hope does happen from this post is action on your part. If you just read it and go about your day, well, maybe a change will take place and maybe it won't – and chances are, if you're a regular reader of Switch and Shift, you already ascribe to an internal honor code anyway, because your parents raised you right.
If you share it with a friend, or with your entire social network, that's awesome! Shawn and I are grateful.
But what I hope you do is introduce this at work. Chances are, your company would benefit from an honor code like William and Mary's: short, simple, clear, and thus simple to live by. Something that will build a culture of honesty, because it is part of daily conversations, because it is printed on your letterhead; because its adherence got your friend a promotion and its violation got you all a new CEO.
What are you going to do with this post? I challenge you to institute an honor code of your own!

Panna cotta in Italian literally means "cooked cream." It's basically an eggless custard thickened with gelatin and served cold. Our version adds an infusion of strawberries and orange for a festive and light springtime dessert.
Because gelatin can impart a rubbery texture to desserts, a minimal amount is used here; this allows you to make the dessert a day or two in advance. By the same token, this panna cotta is much slower to set up and needs at least 8 hours in the refrigerator, so plan accordingly.
6 Servings
3 cups
sliced ripe Earthbound Farm Organic Strawberries
½ cup
orange (grated zest)
1 cup
lowfat buttermilk
3 Tbsp
Grand Marnier or Cointreau
2 tsp
unflavored gelatin (less than 1 packet)
¾ cup
heavy (whipping) cream
½ cup
heavy (whipping) cream (as garnish, optional)
2 Tbsp
Sugar (as garnish, optional)
1 Tbsp
crème de menthe liqueur (as garnish, optional)
Fresh mint sprigs (as garnish, optional)
Combine the strawberries, sugar and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Purée until very smooth. Add the buttermilk and purée for 1 minute. Place a fine mesh sieve or chinois over a bowl. Add the purée and press firmly to extract the pulp and seeds. Discard the solids and set the strained purée aside.
Place the Grand Marnier in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the liqueur. Let sit 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
Place the 3/4 cup heavy cream in a small pot and bring just to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture. Add the strawberry-buttermilk purée and whisk to combine.
Divide the panna cotta between 6 martini glasses or wine goblets. Refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours.
Optional garnish: Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream with the sugar and crème de menthe until it forms stiff peaks. Pipe or spoon a dollop of the cream atop each panna cotta, and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Pantera Suicide Note PT. I Lyrics
Last updated: 10/30/2011 11:00:00 AM
Sponsored Links
Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take the pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot
see inside yours and mine
When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me
breathe, for our handle on this life, I don't believe
this time
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again.....
Forever fooling, free and using, sliding down the
slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are
you to regress unfulfilled? It's a damn shame,
but who's to blame?

Tsunami-Hit Nations To Get Warning System
New Delhi (UPI) Jan 4, 2005 Most of the Asian nations battered by the tsunamis were taken by surprise when the waves wrecked havoc following the 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the tip of Sumatra Island in Indonesia. Despite the time difference between nations and the travel hours taken by the giant waves, there was no communication between the Asian countries over the impending disaster. The waves traveled as far as eastern Africa leaving behind a trail of destruction in coastal cities of 11 nations. At least 156,000 people are reported dead and thousands are still missing and presumed dead in the worst quake in 40 years. Indonesia reported 94,000 dead, Sri Lanka 41,000 and India 11,500 and Thailand 7,000. The Asian nations in Indian Ocean are not equipped with any tsunami warning system like the one based in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, that was set up in 1949. None of the Dec. 26 tsunami-hit nations are part of the 26-member PTWC group. Scientists believe the tsunami, traveling at speeds of up to 500 miles per hour, took at least two hours to reach Sri Lanka and India, which is more than long enough for an alert to go out. But hundreds of thousands who died in at least 12 nations in and around the Indian Ocean and millions more who lost their homes, received no such warning of the impending disaster. All this seems to be changing now. Besides the tsunami-hit nations, several nations in the world have called for a tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean to prevent any similar damage in the future. The worst-hit Indonesia says that a gathering of the world leaders in Jakarta on Thursday would announce the intention to set up a warning system in the Indian Ocean. "We have been discussing with several countries in the region the plan to set up an early warning system after an earthquake and tidal waves crushed Aceh and North Sumatra on Dec. 26," Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said. He added the warning system would not only alert people prior to future tsunamis, but also to other natural disasters, including earthquakes and landslides, in order to minimize the number of casualties and destruction. Thursday's summit hosted by the Indonesian government is aimed at gathering more international assistance for the millions of people rendered homeless. Scores of world leaders, including U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, are to participate. Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Philippine President Gloria Arroyo, Brunei Darussalam Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark, South Korean Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Australian Prime Minister John Howard have confirmed they will attend the summit. United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and U.S. special envoy, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also plan to be at the meeting. Powell has said that Washington will use Thailand as a base for its relief program. Governments and global organizations have already pledged more than $2.3 billion in tsunami disaster relief. More aid is expected in the days to come. Thailand, which accounted for 7,000 deaths, including more than 3,500 foreign tourists, is also pushing hard for the early warning system, saying it would offer peace of mind to the millions of foreign tourists. Thai Foreign Minister Surakiart Sathirathai said that a part of the money pledged to the relief effort should go to setting up a warning system. India, which reported nearly 11,500 deaths, said it would install a tsunami warning system at a cost of $30 million and it will be fully functional in two-and-half years, Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal said. Sibal had earlier said that his government was taken by surprise and not many people had heard about tsunamis in the Indian Ocean. "The system is called DART -- meaning Deep Ocean Assessment and Report System --and this complete system, giving a true and accurate prediction of Tsunami -- as in the Pacific Ocean -- would take two to two and a half years to be fully functional," Sibal said. Sibal said his ministry would be organizing an international conference of scientists and seismologists on Jan. 21 to brainstorm on how to proceed towards a solution. "When the quake hit Indonesia, we had information about it. What we did not have information about was the Tsunami. Normally when a quake hits Sumatra or Japan, it has no effect on any part of India," Sibal said. "It would take time, probably at least a year, to establish a tsunami warning system in the wider Indian Ocean region. Whether it would be effective in giving people in vulnerable areas sufficient warning to move to higher or safer ground would depend on public education and the ability to spread any warnings quickly through local authorities," Michael Richardson, a former Asia editor of the International Herald Tribune, wrote in The New Zealand Herald. "This works in many parts of the Pacific, but may not work in Indian rim countries with poor communications," he added. "Most of those people could have been saved if they had had a tsunami warning system in place or tide gauges," said Waverly Person, a scientist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Washington, an arm of the U.S. Geological Survey. Meanwhile, international aid continues to pour into the devastated Southeast Asia where rescue workers and volunteers are trying to provide relief to nearly 4 million people rendered homeless. The main airport in the Aceh province of Indonesia was closed temporarily Tuesday after a Boeing 737 relief supply aircraft hit a herd of buffaloes. The airport was reopened later after troops managed to shift the aircraft off the runway. The accident created a logjam across the Indonesian while airport authorities in Colombo, Sri Lanka, ran out of fuel supplies due to the large number of relief supply flights. Helicopters from the USS Abraham Lincoln were delivering aid and evacuating refugees from Indonesia's west coast. Singapore has also sent a fleet of helicopters and two landing ships to help in the relief operation. The situation became more worrisome as women and children reported several incidents of rape, gang rape and child molestation at relief camps in Sri Lanka. Many foreigners have reported lootings in their homes in the devastated regions. "We have received reports of incidents of rape, gang rape, molestation and physical abuse of women and girls in the course of unsupervised rescue operations and while resident in temporary shelters," Women and Media Collective, a rights group, said in a statement. India has deployed policewomen to guard the shelter camps where orphans are housed in southern India. In the disaster's aftermath, schools in India's remote Andaman and Nicobar islands have begun emergency drills for the students on how to evacuate if a tsunami strikes again. The evacuation instructions have become part of the morning assembly in schools in the islands that recorded nearly 6,000 deaths and equal number of people missing. Some of the schools have reopened with half the students either dead or reported missing. The ones who survived the killer waves have neither uniforms nor books.

Platt enjoying life at Coventry
Striker still getting to know his team mates One of Aidy Boothroyd's more surprising signings of the summer was that of the 32 year old journeyman pro Clive Platt, but the little known and apparently underrated striker has raised a few eyebrows with his performances. Platt joined City in the summer from Boothroyd's previous club Colchester and was described by the City boss as a striker who makes more goals than he scores. Speaking to The Coventry Telegraph, Platt spoke about the football and his private life since joining the Sky Blues. He said, "My first few weeks at Coventry City have been really enjoyable and I feel I have settled in very quickly. It helps because I obviously worked with the manager at Colchester last season so I know his routines and what he expects from his players, while the lads have made me feel very welcome." "Footballers spend a lot of time in the dressing room with each other where there is always plenty of banter going on and I have always been in the thick of that, but there is an unwritten rule in the game that you don't go shouting your mouth off from your first day so, while I am usually one of the loud ones dishing it out, I have been very quiet up to now." // '); // ]]> "I am just biding my time, taking it all in and getting to know everyone and spotting my potential targets. Life has been pretty good on the pitch too, and I have been pleased with the playing time I have had so far and was very happy to get my first start last Saturday, although not so with the result." "Although I felt I won my fair share of headers, I do feel that the referee gave Millwall more decisions than he gave us, which often happens when you play away at an intimidating ground where the crowd make lots of noise, but hopefully we will make the Ricoh like that and start getting decisions going for us." "The problem was that I was being fouled quite a lot with one man in front of me and another behind, climbing up my back and trying to head the ball, but whenever I used my arms to stop them I was penalised for it and they got a free kick. It can be frustrating for me because throughout my career I have had referees say to me, 'You're a big lad, get on with it,' and it seems that if opposition players commit a foul and win the ball it is fair game but, if I do it, I get pulled up for it." "The other frustrating aspect of the game was the sending off because up until that point we had got our goal back and were in the ascendancy. Ask any of our lads and they will tell you that at that point of the game we were confident we were going to go on to win and we could see from the body language of their players that they were there for the taking." "Unfortunately Carl Baker went off and the reverse happened. Bakes was obviously disappointed but, to be fair to him, I thought his first booking was very harsh because their lad had his arms round him on the floor and he was just trying to get free and the second yellow came for kicking the ball away and he insists he didn't hear the whistle, so I think he and the gaffer are going to sit down and look at it again on the video. We are now looking forward to the next game when we hope to bounce back." "My wife, Imogen, is from Leicester and I am from Wolverhampton so we have moved into a house in between the two, just outside Hinckley so it is easy to get up the M69 or down the M6 to our respective families. We have a little girl, Maddie,who will be four in November and she has her dad wrapped round her little finger." "When we decided we were going to have kids I always said that I would be the strict one but I can't bring myself to shout at her and always go for the easy option and pick her up for a cuddle if she looks like she is going to cry because she's been naughty, but she's great fun and at a lovely age, and certainly keeps me on my toes."
